Woooooo, it’s been a hectic few weeks! Sorry for the delay everyone, here’s SNSS episode #469, featuring new cuts from Fabolous, 50 Cent, Statik Selektah, Common, Drake, SBTRKT, Sampha, Blueprint, Russ, Little Dragon, Michael Jackson, Disclosure, Vitamin D, The Roots, and more. Plus, we debuted a WORLD PREMIERE of a new Big K.R.I.T. track, “Something Right,” featuring Yo Gotti. Two weeks later and that track still hasn’t hit the internet. Whaddaya know, DJ’s can still have exclusives every now and then…

Lastly, we were joined in studio by one of our favorite MC’s from the Northwest, Thaddeus David, and we played a portion of our discussion with the HRDCVR team, Elliott Wilson & Danyel Smith. If you want to peep the full interview with these hip-hop journalism legends, click here.

Dope visuals from my favorite musicians in Seattle and the homeboy Jon Jon Augustavo on direction. I believe this marks the 5th consecutive video shoot I’ve attended where I’ve successfully avoided appearing in the actual video. Was a fun time though, shout to all the homies!

SNSS listeners know that we welcomed Thaddeus David, Nacho Picasso, and Avatar Young Blaze in to our studio last week to debut their new “Sir Lancelot” record and now you can download the mp3 for yourself. It’s somewhat of a different sound for Thad, but as you’d suspect with a MC of his caliber, he adapts his flow well for the track. Nacho and Avatar sound at home too, with Nacho’s vocals cutting sharply through the beat and Av’s closing it out with his “scumbag of the year” verse. Download it below:

New music on this week’s SNSS from artists like DPGC, Dom Kennedy, 1982, ASAP Rocky, Theophilus London, The Airplane Boys, Asher Roth, Estelle, Casey Veggies, Sene, Frank Ocean, and more. Plus, the homey Thaddeus David dropped by to debut his new record, “Big Smooth” (oh yes, a Sam Perkins reference for the win).

SNSS listeners will remember when Sin and Blakk Soul dropped by our studio to debut this record a few weeks ago and here are the visuals. Be sure to cop the album, The Story of Love x Hate, right here. Sin is one of the dopest and most consistent artists we have in the Northwest, so support the man. Come on out to The Croc tonight for the release party with Thaddeus David and Luck-One as well!

(I’m headed to Los Angeles this week so I wanted to get this archive up ASAP for y’all. If you’re in LA, hit me and let’s link up!)

After last week’s debacle, you didn’t think I’d forget to record SNSS on back to back episodes, did you? Back once again, it’s the incredible. This time, we were joined in studio by one of our favorite local artists, Thaddeus David, who you should be familiar with from his work with State of the Artist (SOTA) and Helluvastate. He’s now releasing his first solo project, Maven, this Friday and we spoke with him all about it.

We also aired our interview (and live acoustic in-studio performance!) from a very promising up and coming R&B singer, John West. Peep the interviews and the rest of the dopeness below. RIP Etta James & Jam-Master Jay!

On what appears to be the most packed couch in recent memory, Thaddeus spits a quickie from his upcoming album, Maven. Thad will be coming through SNSS this coming weekend to talk all about the project. Coming off one of the best releases of last year with Taysean for Helluvastate, everyone should be anticipating Thad’s first solo project.
